PART 1

To try and motivate you fuckers into finally GETTING GUD, I did my best to summarize MTG Arena's "Premier Play", aka pyramid scheme, aka tournament system.

I might have fucked some stuff up and omitted a lot of other shit, so check the sources for details:
https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-arena/mtg-arena-premier-play-in-2024
https://www.magic.gg/events/qualifier-play-in
https://magic.gg/events/qualifier-weekend

Here we go.

The Arena Championship - highest tier of play and rewards in MTG Arena. 3 per year. AC6 is July 13-14! We're currently in the qualifying process for AC7, sometime in Oct-Nov. AC7 will be very different from previous ones. Structure hasn't been announced yet, but player count is going from 32 to uncapped, and prize pool is going from $200000 to $250000. AC can also get you into in-person tournaments. Top 16 qualify for the Pro Tour, top 2 for the Magic World Championship.

How to get into the AC? "Just" get 6 Wins in Day 2 of a Qualifier Weekend (QW).

There is a QW every month - each 4 QWs feed into their respective AC. Every QW uses a different magic format.
>>
File: file.png (2.13 MB, 1080x1349)
2.13 MB
2.13 MB PNG
>>484361267
Getting into QW Day 1: Finish Top 250 in EITHER ladder the previous month, OR Get 1-3 wins in the previous month's QW Day 2, OR reach a cash prize in an Arena Open the previous month OR Get max wins in a current month's Qualifier Play-In (see below).

QW Day 1 is Bo3, can only be entered ONCE, plays until 7 W's or 3 L's, rewards 500-12000 gems, and grants Day 2 Entry for 7 wins.

QW Day 2 is Bo3, 6 W's or 2 L's, rewards 250-5000 gems. 1-3 W's gets you into Day 1 of next month's QW automatically. 4-5 Wins: same, but for Day 2. 6 gets you into the AC (note: once you are qualified for an AC, you can't play in any Play-Ins or QWs for that same AC).

Getting into a Qualifier Play-In: spend 20000 Gold, OR 4000 Gems, OR 20 Play-In Points.

Getting Play-In Points: 20 if you finish 251-1200 in EITHER ladder (being high in BOTH ladders does nothing). 1-4 for getting max wins in eligible Limited/Constructed Events (the ones that are permanently going on).

For each monthly QW, there's a Bo1 Play-in until 6 W's or 2 L's, and a Bo3 Play-in until 4 W's or 1 L. They each give 500-6000 gems, use the same format as that month's QW, and reward a QW Entry Token on max wins.

Tokens are redundant (you can only enter each QW once), and are only valid for THEIR SPECIFIC QW.

Because Play-Ins can be entered as MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT, and give 500 gems for 0 losses, you can and should at least use these to turn all your play-in points into gems.
>>
What percentage of games of fair magic exist if you remove games where you flood or have a draught/he same happens to your opponent?
>>
>>484361518
depends on the format. stronger decks and stronger formats have less of that because the mana bases are better and the non-lands include better flood/draught potential.

the % is certainly not 100% in any case, but that's why every sane person plays bo3 exclusively.
>>
>>484362204
Don't be an idiot, bo3 is my format of choice but b03 doesn't reduce the chance, it "normalizes" it. Furthermore the bo3 lows are even worse. Feels worse to lose bo3 because you flooded out twice. Feels as bad if you lose one match and then flood the other (and vice-versa) except you spent more time to lose. The only saving grace is when you flood once but win twice.
Land types for deck types notwithstanding, your opponent is also as liable to flood and drought as you are, regardless of the game type.
So the point stands, what percentage of games (matches if you will) do you reckon actually end up being fair magic when floods and droughts are removed from both players.

>>484316943
i kind of complained about this during MKM. disguise is retarded and fucks up the design philosophy of morph. morph is about hidden information, when you start saying some creatures are morph and some are disguise, that gives info on which creature you played when you say "cast a morph" or "cast a disguise." the purpose of disguise and giving morphs ward 2? because regular morph is too underpowered in the current meta and "feel bad" for newer players. morph was never constructed playable, with a few notable exceptions. trying to make morph fit in the current constructed meta by adding ward 2 was a fools game, even with ward 2 the disguise cards aren't really being played. so the only real reason they added ward 2 was for limited and to minimize "bad feels" for new players. and then, to deal with all the ward in the set, they printed a bunch of spells that say "can't be countered." so instead of tailoring the removal in the set to match morph like they did back in khans (made disfigure instead of just using an existing card, dead weight), they upgraded morph to fit the power level of current meta, but then as a result needed to upgrade the removal to fit the upgraded morph. MKM is an abomination of a set and would be my first choice of a deck to completely wipe from history if given the chance. except for flotsam//jetsam, that's a great card.

Anon. Devious Cover-up is the best black card in the set, following only Vein Ripper.

Sweepers are ridiculously strong in limited, in general. Just play with it in mind.
>>
>>484393697
>>484393942
Why would you draft cover-up, be in the colors, and still not run it? Cut gorgon's kiss or cerebral confiscation, both are terrible. Murders are great, if you had more you should be running them too. Put in extract a confession as well.
>>
>>484394415
Deadly*. Boomer moment.
>>
>>484394415
I'll keep your advice for sweepers in mind, I'm new to drafting and mtg in general.
>>484394553
My reasoning was that I had enough removal for big creatures with the murders, and I'd deal with their small creatures with my big ones, so no need for the sweeper.
>>
>>484395548
people just don't hold creatures in hand like they do in constructed, due to sweepers being so rare (no pun intended). you, knowing you have a sweeper in your deck, can play around that by sandbagging until it's time to pull the trigger, and they'll often have nothing left.
>>
>>484396110
makes sense, I wish there was a concise guide with tips like this. Seems like everything is either telling you which cards from a set are powerful or "just play bombs, dude"
I ended up going 2-3, losing the final game to a WB deck that hit me with 2x unscrupulous agent and 2x cerebral confiscation
>>
>>484401182
this is not specifically for limited, and the card examples are really old, but it's the quintessential free fundamentals guide

>terrible curve, only 3 of the 2 drops actually want to be played on curve
>removal is 4 mana, sorcery speed, and dependent on your land count
>no reliable ramp to cast the multiple 5+ drops
a lot of the others don't have these issues. there are still power disparities between the other decks, but RG is just a joke.
>>
>>484426501
BW has a similar thing where it has 4-drops and 3-drops that trigger on your 2-drops ETBing. At least it has removal and even a sweeper
>>
>>484428327
but there are enough 2 drops that also trigger off the lower power things entering, as well as enough 2 drops where you can go 2 drop on T2, 3 drop on T3, and then two 2 drops on T4. also, the 3 and 4 drops also trigger off of each other entering, so you can play the wispdrinker and then next turn play a screaming phantom and it still triggers. WB is actually a very strong, consistent looking deck. the curve tops out at 5, with the single sweeper. RG tops out at 8 and has NINE cards that are 5 mana or above, with few accelerants, few ways to NOT DIE before you get to the turns where you will be casting real things. and what's at the top of the curve? ghalta. what does ghalta do? puts other creatures into play from your hand. very little card draw and the need to put out ANYTHING as defense means you probably have zero cards in hand by the time you play ghalta. you are probably already dead by the time you get to cast ghalta, it being the biggest, baddest beater in any of the decks does not matter. the unironically should have put palani's hatcher as the final rare instead.

So I read that we will get refunded if a card gets banned. What if a card like Fable of the Mirror Breaker, which was previously banned in standard, now gets banned in other formats like explorer. Will I get my wildcards refunded if I craft them?
>>
>>484505680
I'm not sure exactly how it works. You only get one reimbursement for a card for the lifetime of the account, but what if you make a brand new account and craft a card that was already banned and it gets banned again? I don't know. Knowing wizards you won't get shit.
>>
>>484499417
useless unless you play formats which are degenerate beyond hope
>>
>>484485530
Explorer is a turn 3 combo format right now.
Timeless can be fun if you like the idea of high power pseudo-legacy. You'll need wildcards though.

isnt it so cool and fun they removed any element of skill or balance from momir so now its just 100% a faggot gacha game where the algorithm decides if you can get a win or not
i love when i get a vanilla 2/2 and my opponent gets a morbid opportunist
i love when i get a flying 2/2 and my opponent gets a faggot alchemy card that can make you discard your hand and seek nonland cards (which is impossible in momir)
such a fun and enjoyable time, thank you wizards for making a meme format, expanding on it with some cool ideas like actual main decks cards, and then scrapping that and rerunning the event constantly so nobody can have fun

ARE YOU FAGGOTS READY FOR THE FIRST /mtgag/ EVENT? THE TIMELESS OPEN!

The current start time is in roughly two weeks. The actual play date will be determined by the players, since you guys will have to play your matches. Decks must be submitted for other anon's prosperity. Lists WILL be hidden until the end of the tournament, according to the website at least. So play what you think will crush the tournament. Rounds will be BO3 with sideboarding.

----------------------------------------------------------

REGISTRATION IS HERE:

https://aetherhub.com/Tourney/RoundTourney/30599

----------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, yes you do have to sign up for an account. I don't want to make another Google account to make a privatized Google doc and you losers need to know the in game name of your opponent to play against them. If someone has a better idea I'll honestly roll with that. The problem I keep running into is gathering both Arena usernames and the decklists, while keeping the lists private and the usernames public.

If this event does well I will attempt to run future events for other formats. I'll fire the event if it reaches 6 players. If it reaches 5 I'll play, but I'd really rather not play my own event.

IS /mtgag/ GOOD AT MAGIC? LET'S FIND OUT!

The foundations banner from promo emails has Lili and Ajani so we're probably getting their reprints in the set, question is what variants

>opponent doesn't concede when I'm popping off with Nadu and watches me play out a 10+ min turn
I had to just stop turning all my lands into hasted fliers and kill him because i felt bad for the king of bears. Could have gone twice as long since i was only halfway through my deck but i just finished the match and closed the game out of shame

You have no shame

I haven't listened to any of the magic stories, should I start at dominaria united or is it fine if I just start with bloomburrow?
>>
>>484803507
Bloomburrow is the start of a new arc, though you'll probably want to read the previous stuff just to know background info like who Jace and Ral are, and what happened. Knowing general stuff about Tarkir would probably be useful too since it seems like this arc will be focused on it.
>>
>>484803971
alright cool thanks anon, ig I'll start with tarkir then
>>
>>484801441
the only blemish so far is ral's faggotry

That's how any half decent ranked system works when you're near the top, the higher you are the harder it is to stay there. It's especially volatile near the start and end of the season, since right now everyone is ranking back up and towards the end decay hits harder due to increased activity from everyone trying to hit their goals.

the problems with mmr calculations and how their jeets fucked up the code is well documented at this point

Tried Throne for the first time today. Started in 2020, and have been a mediocre limited player on paper since then. Actually got 7 wins with Mono-White with red splash, but I feel like I was just carried by p1p1 Realm-cloaked and p2p5 Outlaws Merriment. Format seems alright, but there are so few players that I, in gold, was paired against a #3 Mythic for one match.

Dead game dead general. Fuck mtg not takin from us soon enough.

the transsexual brigade is usually here to spam bump and samefag this lbgt garbage out of page 10 tho
>>
>>484826059
Bump it for what? Trio squad was just messing with you all as a joke now it’s just boring and sad.

Be the change you want to see anon
>>
>>484821027
Yeah, old sets have a lot fewer players because the newbies usually blow their load on the shiny new stuff. The only people left are the ones who are good enough to self sustain their drafts through wins, or paypigs who reroll drafts to get the best stuff.

Ahaha, opponent had a super op Eldrazi deck but played very defensively and decked himself after drawing a million cards with multiple Unfathomable truths and Kozileks Unsealing.
I literally had already given up and rage quit since my deck felt so outclassed and I had no hope of winning through combat, but then on my way to the bathroom I remembered that he drew so many cards that he might deck himself and decided to restart and check and was able to stall long enough despite tons of annihilator.
Probably the weirdest and most random win I can remember.
>>
>>484836297
And funnily enough I usually don't rage quit, so if I hadn't been in a such a bad mood I would have conceded and lost without a chance of comeback.

>>484836297
When are we gonna get that Lili avatar again, i need it

>>484825432
I was watching Portugal vs. France

>>484836297
He must be seething he lost that

I've been thinking about a simple deck with Hardbristle Bandit, ping Deserts, and Outcaster Greenblade, but there's not a lot of great synergy outside of them other than that 2+x/2+x where x is deserts black removal

>>484316496
thank fuck for this card. Finally blue and green trannies can fuck off
>>
>>484855012
Set mechanics just don't have enough synergy to function well as a deck now since wotc dropped blocks. Every new set have different shit leaving the previous one under developed. Sucks but numbers must go up I guess.
